Abstract - In Indian Agriculture, Generally tractors or cultivator machines are commonly used for ploughing. Before this method farmers uses the traditional method this is time consuming and hardworking and costly. So we are intro ducing a new machine. This Machine useful for agriculture in India is of a much larger level. All machine high price and useful for agriculture but not affordable to farmers. So we have created a new machine with this problem in mind to increase the maximum weed removal capacity of the tiller blade in the new design. We have added some extra parts to this machine to help improve the maximum weed removal efficiency. First removing parts are three long tiller blades for tilling operation for Creates favorable environment for crop growth and the second part is cutter attachment for crop and grass cutting. This machine performs both tilling and crop cutting operations.

Key Words: Battery,Blade,Cutter,Tiller,Cutter

1. INTRODUCTION

In India currently farmers are unhappy to spend money for ploughing operation because of raise in petrolpricedaybyday.Tosolvethisproblem,wemadean electricpowertillerandcuttermachinewhichispowerby battery to electric motor. The battery is ecofriendly and easilyrecharge.Thepowertillerismainlyusedinfarming operation for preparing a seedbed on upper level of land.
